⚠ Checks disagree: 1 confirmed, 1 partial

The Wikidata source explicitly lists 'William MacAskill' under the 'founded by' property for 80,000 Hours (Q4644323). The claim states that William MacAskill is the founder, which directly matches the source data. The source also lists Benjamin J. Todd as a co-founder, making this a partial listing of founders, but the claim about MacAskill being a founder is accurate and confirmed.

NoteThe source confirms that William MacAskill is listed as a founder of 80,000 Hours, but the claim states he is 'the Founder' (singular), implying he is the sole founder. The source actually lists two founders: William MacAskill and Benjamin J. Todd. The claim is incomplete rather than incorrect—it identifies one founder but omits the other.
